High School Box League (all grades)

Our High School league is a 12 week competitive box league played under USBOXLA guidelines. This is for High School players of all ages and levels. Enrollment is open to any player looking to play. Teams are grouped regionally, so in most cases players will be group with friends and teammates. It is intended for experienced lacrosse players, but no prior box experience is required. The first four weeks will be dedicated to box training (see instructors below). We will have 2-3 teams from RI, and 2-3 teams from MA. We also have two slots for a competitive town select or club program that would like to field a team. This is 100% legit box lacrosse undiluted.

Players will compete on a full size, sport court rink with double doors, penalty boxes, shot clocks, 4×4 nets. All players must be registered with USBOXLA and wear full box gear including rib/kidney pads and hard shell bicep pads (NO EXCEPTIONS).

“Last season, according to Canadian businessman and lacrosse enthusiast Jason Donville, there were 119 Canadian Division I lacrosse players, even though the Canadian Lacrosse Association (Canada’s US Lacrosse equivalent) reported around 8,000 people in the entire country playing field lacrosse. In contrast, US Lacrosse’s 2010 Participation Survey counted close to 380,000 people playing field lacrosse in the United States. Despite these disparities, the Canadian national team won the FIL World Lacrosse Championship in 2006, and came within two goals of beating the Americans again in 2010. **

American college coaches — many of whom have had a front-row seat watching Canadians sophisticated stick skills and catch-and-shoot prowess — see the indicators.

“When you watch Canadian kids score, when you see their skill level around the cage, you wonder to yourself, ‘Jeez, are we teaching kids [in the U.S.] the wrong things?'”

In a LaxMagazine.com article last May, Denver’s Bill Tierney echoed similar sentiments. “If I was US Lacrosse, I wouldn’t let any kids play field until they were 10 or 12,” he said. “Until box lacrosse grows in the United States, it’ll continue to be this way.””
